In Ismailism, things have an exterior meaning, what is apparent. This is called zahir.

Imagine...

Suppose your universe and time is a circle, bending back on itself. Your reality reduces itself to one
manifestation, one obsession, with a constant desire to replicate itself within you. Furthermore your
universe is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries. From any
hexagon one can see the floors above and below - one after another, endlessly. Finally, imagine that
the driving force of your world and life is Zahir.

Sort of, but I prefer:

Visible, present, incapable of being unnoticed.

Someone or something that we have come into contact with, which gradually occupies our every thought until we can think of nothing else.

A state of holiness or madness.
